The focus on the players themselves, their vulnerability, and how they’ve coped since makes it more than a sports documentary. It feels like a…
You know those shitty slapstick movies that still manage to put a smile on your face? The Wrong Paris is exactly that kind of movie.

Chris Columbus has done an excellent job with this murder mystery film. He has a special place in my heart already, as he directed the first two Harry Potter movies, which defined a big part of my childhood.
